Overview Of Events In Florence Italy
There is almost no time of year that one does not find events in Florence Italy. There are parades, parties, festivals, exhibits, and fun almost every week and many of the events last for several months. One can come during an event and be an active participate or just watch the fun. Either way, a person enjoys the festive environment and love of the Italian people for a good party.
January begins with parties, parades, and fireworks on New Year's Eve followed by Fashion Show week which lasts through to the end of the month. A person can participate from the beginning of the year and enjoy the shows brought by fashion designers from all over the world.
The month long carnival that takes place in February is the largest carnival in Italy. A visitor can spend the month participating in a series of parades, parties, talking to performers. One can watch street performers on a daily basis from a seat in the open cafe or wander through the plaza and see unique sights that would not be found elsewhere.
The month of April is another that will take a visitor on an adventure in both the culture and love of life shared by the Italian people. One begins the month with the Scoppio del Carro (Explosion of the Cart). This parade and party begins on Easter Sunday and includes a huge fireworks display on a cart that is set ablaze by a dove that comes from the cathedral on a wire.
The Festa del Grillo is a huge festival that takes place in the Piazza with vendors selling crickets in woven cages to participants. The crickets are released in the park which brings good luck to the owners. This is only the first of many events in Florence Italy that take place in the summer months. May and June are host to the Maggio Musicale which is a major arts festival. This event provides guests with concerts, dancing, ballet, and exhibits.
